The paper presents experimental measurements of the parasitic loading resulting from a radiofrequency (RF) Langmuir or sheath current which flows from an unshielded antenna to the scrape-off layer (SOL) during Alfven wave heating (AWH) in TCA. The measurem ...
Heating of tokamak plasmas up to temperatures of the order of 10 keV (≈ 108 0K) is one of the main subjects in plasma physics research. Much experimental and theoretical effort has been devoted to the improvement of the heating efficiency and to the unders ...
A comparative study of X- and O-mode high field side launch for electron cyclotron heating (ECH) breakdown and startup of tokamak plasmas has been performed. It is found that X-mode power is not absorbed at the cyclotron resonance but uniquely at the upper ...
Stable negative ions containing up to sixteen silicon atoms have been measured by mass spectrometry in RF power-modulated silane plasmas for amorphous silicon deposition. These hydrogenated silicon cluster ions reach much higher masses than the positive io ...
